people get so mad when you tell them that their lowbrow entertainment they enjoy is actually lowbrow

everyone wants their self-indulgent romantasy to be considered high literature and whatever new mainstream pop boy/girl to be treated as the next beethoven and their gay fluff show on streaming apps to be revolutionary art changing the world and like, they're not. and that's okay. i'm literally watching the stupidest show right now and it's fine. it doesn't have to be more.

there's also the argument of how pop culture used to be the trickle down from high culture for the longest time but now it's an ouroboros eating itself as access and willingness to engage with high culture have been systematically destroyed and diminished through the last decades so your popcorn flick moviemaker now only gets inspiration from other popcorn flicks when their foreparents used to actually read literature and see art of all kinds and your pop musicians used to listen to all sorts of new and old music rather than just their contemporaries/competition and maybe this absence of any sort of culture outside of our easy algorithms is why everyone's so defensive of what they passively consume and so attached to it as a part of their identity but that's a discussion for another day

"we shouldnt be pathologizing human behaviour" i absolutely agree!! but are you going to acknowledge that in order for something to be considered a symptom it has to be intense and frequent enough to a degree that noticably impacts your quality of life or is what you actually wanted to say more along the lines of "everyones a little adhd just get over it 🙄"

i say this and I mean like we should think about what it means for people with mental illnesses to be pathologized. like what happens when our society considers smth to be a pathology, how does that label affect the way society views and treats a person. non zero chance this post is part of some discourse idk about and don't want to know about but I am chronically offline as fuck and I like theory
